Oxidative Stress In The Brain: Effects Of Hydroperoxides And Nitric Oxide On Glyceraldehyde 3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase And Phosphoinositide Cycle Enzymes
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-09-01)In the aerobic cell, oxygen can be converted into a series of reactive metabolites, together called as "reactive oxygen species" (ROS). This large group include both radical and non-radical species such as superoxide anion ... -
Oxide Semiconductors for Silicon Tandem Solar Cells
In tandem solar cells two or more solar cells share the solar spectrum. The structure consists of two sub-cells on top of each other, with the top cell absorbing the blue photons and the bottom cells absorbing the red ... -
Oxygen Transfer In Pichia Pastoris Fermentation
(2009-03-17)Recombinant Pichia pastoris is one of the important methylotropic yeast due to its robustness and ability to produce hormones like human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), luteinizing hormone (LH) extracellularly. High growth ... -
(p)ppGpp and c-di-GMP : A Tale of Two Second Messengers in Mycobacterium smegmatis
Nucleotide based second messengers are known to regulate wide variety of processes in all domains of life. Two such bacterial second messengers are (p)ppGpp (guanosine tetra- or pentaphosphate) and c-di-GMP (cyclic dimeric ... -
(p)ppGpp and Stress Response : Decoding the Key Pathways by Small Molecule Analogues Biophysical Methods and Mass Spectrometry
(2018-06-08)Under hostile conditions, bacteria elicit stress response. Such stress response is regulated by a secondary messenger called (p)ppGpp. (p)ppGpp is involved in wide range of functions such as GTP homeostasis, biofilm formation ... -
